00:00Coming up on this episode of Orange County Choppers Original.
00:04Leo's got some family members who have autism,
00:06and autism really affects so many of us.
00:08The chopper tells the story, really.
00:10I was looking about a sensory bike.
00:12This is the first time that we're using an M8 Harley motor in it.
00:15Bend the round ball all the way around the back of the fender
00:18and then attach the metal.
00:20And that's a bullseye right there!
00:24I ran into some difficulties because I've never really been in this spot.
00:28You know, we didn't start the bike.
01:02So we just finished the Grey Bull Chopper,
01:04and now, true to OCC fashion, we are on to the next chopper.
01:08And we're going to go pick up Christian and Jim,
01:10and we're going to head down to our buddy Leo's.
01:13We're going to talk to him about what does autism acceptance look like
01:17and how can we create an incredible chopper that actually brings awareness and acceptance.
01:35Hello, guys!
01:37And welcome to Farm I Call of Abilities, where we don't recognize disabilities.
01:42The only disability that we really have is not understanding the abilities that these children have.
01:47We're trying to set up a program where we can bring children in that are autistic
01:50and teach them different levels of responsibilities and ways to move about through their lives,
01:57through equestrian therapy and also riding four-wheelers.
02:01Every child that is autistic has a level.
02:06I've seen children that come in with a level three that are nonverbal.
02:10They've walked out with showing excitement that the horses,
02:15they actually can participate and talk about what their experience was.
02:20When they came, couldn't say a word.
02:23Had no interest in people.
02:25And they leave, they just show this brightness, this happiness that they have.
02:29And it's the most rewarding thing to understand that I'm the one with the disability and not them.
02:38How are we doing?
02:40Beautiful day for riding.
02:41How are you?
02:42Nice to meet you.
02:42How are you?
02:43Good.
02:43Hi, I'm Jody.
02:45How are you, boys?
02:46To move forward and to continue this program,
02:49I want to expand it more than just autism awareness.
02:52I want to make it autism awareness and acceptance.
02:55And I think taking a look at all this,
02:56it gives you a lot of insight into what the chopper would mean.
03:00You know what I mean?
03:00And I think that...
03:01Yeah, I think that's the most important part.
03:03The chopper tells the story, really, is what we always say.
03:06Yeah, we want it with the sensory.
03:07So we're kind of thinking about a sensory bite.
03:09How did you start?
03:10I grew up doing a lot of summer programs and working with kids.
03:17And I really loved it.
03:19I had my oldest kiddo, really young.
03:22And she's autistic.
03:24And then she's nine now.
03:28When your kid's diagnosed autistic,
03:30you just get handed this world of pamphlets that don't make sense.
03:35And you're just basically sent to deal with it on your own.
03:39And that's where it all gets confused.
03:42Just because you're autistic, your brain works differently.
03:44You get angry, you get overwhelmed, and people don't...
03:47I never get angry.
03:49People don't understand that just because you get angry or frustrated,
03:52it's just how their brain works.
03:54They don't know how to...
03:55Everything's black and white for them.
03:57And the biggest thing for me,
03:58and I can say, you're part of that bike.
04:01The confidence, the levels, and they're friends.
04:04The kids around will be like, amazed.
04:07Now they're the coolest kids on the block.
04:09I don't care, you know?
04:10I mean, that's what my goal is with this bike.
04:12And I like to take it around with my granddaughter
04:14and show the people how amazing these children are
04:19and how amazing this bike is going to help represent it.
04:22I want to make sure that I bring, you know, acceptance to autism.
04:27That's a great statement, and it's a great mission.
04:30And I believe that Leo and his family are certainly going to do that
04:35because they are pretty tenacious.
04:40How nice are these wheels, seriously?
04:42Right?
04:43Look at how the, like, the contrast cut almost looks like diamonds.
04:48It almost reminds me of him.
04:50The old Trans Amp.
04:52Yes, yes.
04:53Yeah, yeah, the wheels, right?
04:55Yeah.
04:56Yeah, S&T does a really nice job of being transcendent, Bill.
04:59Anthony should be here any minute.
05:01Yeah, he said he's on his way over.
05:02I think if we all think really hard, you may just knock on the door.
05:07Oh!
05:09Hey, who's there?
05:12There it is.
05:13Hey, Anthony.
05:15Hey, Anthony.
05:17There you go.
05:18That's nice.
05:20You said this part stretched back here?
05:23Yeah, we stretched it back here about three and a half inches
05:25because the touring transmission is so long with the oil tank built in
05:29that if you would have kept it in the stock location,
05:31the back of the tire would have hit the back of the oil pan.
05:34So we stretched it.
05:35You can't really tell.
05:36No, you really can tell.
05:37Good job, man.
05:38There you go, man.
05:39Very clean.
05:39Have at it.
05:40Thanks, bro.
05:40You got it.
05:41Appreciate you.
05:43Get my next frames on.
05:44All right.
05:45Working on it.
05:45I got another one coming after that.
05:47Okay.
05:52Good rotation.
05:53Is that what you want going on?
05:54You want to put the front end?
05:55You and Mikey can put the front end together or something?
05:57I don't do front ends.
05:58Get over here, Mom.
05:59I only do rear.
06:16Are you using the Harley-Davidson primary?
06:21I'm doing a close primary, but it's Harley-Davidson.
06:23So it's a stock M8, like, one of them, right?
06:26Yeah.
06:26If you put the transmission in there, wait.
06:28You should try it.
06:29We should just make that.
06:30Yeah, let's take a look at it.
06:30I got the hardware.
06:32Get that fender under here.
06:36I'm assuming it's a Harley.
06:37The smaller one on this side.
06:38See, it says right side.
06:40It's probably this side.
06:41I'm just guessing.
06:41I don't know.
06:42Yeah, let's draw it.
06:43Okay.
06:47I have a 1974 Harley that I bought new in 1974 that's in the restaurant, and I kind of like
06:53the way the fender was done, and as Smith Brothers did that, I wanted to try
06:57and duplicate that somewhat with the bike that I was doing with him, the orthism bike.
07:02Okay, go with hands for A.
07:04This is his version of democracy.
07:06For A.
07:07This is his version of democracy.
07:10Obviously, building this bike, it's for a good cause.
07:13Most of the bikes that we do, to learn more about autistic people, it affects millions of
07:18Americans, and just learn a little bit about them.
07:23What I did for Paul today was actually, we had a 117 motor that we got from Burt's that
07:28Burt's letting Paul use, and I actually tore it down for him, for the guys to get it power
07:33coated to match some of the colors on the frame and the covers and all that.
07:37Then this is an M8, so we're basically, what we're going to do is we're coming up with,
07:40we're going to use one of the other platforms to get rid of all the wiring harnesses and run
07:44a carburetor on it, so it's going to be kind of cool for Paul.
07:55Feedback, you need to end.
08:27See here for...
08:30I think that we got more done than I thought that we wouldn't get done.
08:33You know, we decided to do something a little bit different on the fender.
08:36Christian did the complete front end.
08:38The gas tank's on.
08:39We still got to build a sissy bar.
08:41We're going to run a king-queen seat.
08:42And then we got an exhaust, which is going to be...
08:45That's going to take a little time, too.
08:47But, I mean, for our first day, I think we did good.
08:53Drew bought two sets of handlebars in there.
08:56It was kind of difficult for me to figure out, really, which one I like better,
08:59because they were both so cool.
09:00A lot of times, I like to have other people's opinions.
09:03I still felt that there was a pretty close matchup to either or.
09:07Cool look, you know?
09:08Just for ha-ha.
09:09Yeah, yeah.
09:10Christian, these are nice.
09:11You say, bro?
09:11Yeah, they're heavy, too, man.
09:13Yeah, they're heavy.
09:13It's all right.
09:14Yeah, it's got rogers in there.
09:18Okay, we're going to have to take a vote here.
09:20I like the first one.
09:22We got these, which they're very cool.
09:25I like that it has the rogers already in it.
09:27But these in chrome are really going to be a showstopper.
09:31Okay.
09:32You're an A guy?
09:33I think A's going to match the sissy bar more with a twist.
09:39I like them both, but I think...
09:40Oh, they're both great, but I think that's going to match better.
09:43In fact, one or the other.
09:44A, you're an A.
09:46You're an A.
09:47A.
09:48You're an A.
09:49I'm going to say A because I want B's for myself.
09:53Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:54There you go.
09:55Mike?
09:56I like B.
09:57You like B?
09:58You like these ones?
09:58I like B.
09:59You're out-boating, you know?
10:00I know.
10:00You're going to go back outside.
10:01Okay.
10:03Come back in.
10:05Come back in when you're ready to say, hey.
10:07Okay.
10:08I guess a twisted one, probably more, that's like a half twist, isn't it?
10:14Yeah, this is like a half twist.
10:15Yeah, it kind of is going to do more like this.
10:18Okay.
10:19More like this.
10:19I mean, I like those a lot.
10:21I just made those the other day.
10:22That's A or B.
10:23I mean, I would go with B.
10:25I like those.
10:26Don't go wrong.
10:27I like the full twisted ones.
10:28Do you like that better?
10:30It's a tough call.
10:31We might have to flip the coin, you know what I mean?
10:33But, okay, show of hands for A.
10:36I like the risers, though.
10:38Cleans it up.
10:41This is his version of democracy.
10:43He's got to put out what he wants.
10:45It doesn't matter what we say.
10:45Yeah, you guys can do it.
10:46You can vote.
10:47I don't know if you want.
10:48All right, I got you running outside doors.
10:50What's up to you, Mike?
10:51Yeah, I'm a delegator.
10:52I'm a delegator, okay.
10:54And we got a lot to do today.
10:55Drew's going to be working on the sissy bar.
10:57We're bringing in Eric to do the Magneto.
11:06It fits right on the fender perfect.
11:09I'm going to go straight.
11:10It's all perfectly straight all the way up.
11:12It's going to work with him.
11:13Let me hang in.
11:14Let's see.
11:15Anthony knew a gentleman who makes Magnetos to convert all of the Harley stuff over to
11:19chopper style, get rid of a lot of pieces and stuff we don't need.
11:22So Eric's coming over in a little while to help us put it together and teach us all about
11:26it.
11:28So with this setup, you have the Magneto and you have the two wires, or you can run all
11:32four plug wires, run into the plugs, and you can literally run the bike just off of that.
11:37Right.
11:37Put the Magneto on.
11:38All right.
11:40Look all right.
11:41Yeah.
11:42We're going to have a bad ass bite.
11:43Oh, yeah.
11:45It's like a cutaway of how the impulse coupler works.
11:49Let's see.
11:49It stops a paw.
11:51And this is the same technology as airplanes still used today.
11:54So this is the first time that we're using an M8 Harley motor in it.
11:58The wiring's a little different.
12:00Generally, from the factory, there's all types of sensors.
12:03There's like 5,000 wires.
12:05There's computers, everything else.
12:06Fuel pump.
12:07So what we did was we eliminated a lot of the wiring by using a Magneto setup and going
12:13to carburetor.
12:14Having such a prestigious title as delegator, I feel it's my duty when my father's away
12:20to really lean on these guys and give them a hard time.
12:23What's going on over here, huh?
12:24You know, I got a job to do like anyone.
12:29I think it worked.
12:30You know, I kind of kept them moving.
12:32You know, and I don't think we'd be as far as we got today without me.
12:37They're scared.
12:38Yeah, Dell ran away.
12:40Dell's scared of you.
12:41The sissy bar is coming along.
12:43Definitely taking longer than I think everybody's expecting, but it looks amazing.
12:46So it's worth the time.
12:48Christian's been knocking out a bunch of stuff with the tank.
12:51We had a gentleman come over today that's working on a conversion for the M8.
12:55Really smart guy, really interesting.
12:56So I'm curious to see how that all comes together.
12:59But it looks amazing on the bike.
13:00I think it's going to be a cool build for sure.
13:07I brought Dell here, who's a super, super guy.
13:10And how I know him is we do a bike week here.
13:14And he's brought a few of his bikes here.
13:15And he just does amazing work.
13:19My name's Dell Battle.
13:20I'm from Crown Point, Indiana.
13:22Working with Drew, he showed me certain things to do, tips and whatnot.
13:28And really, it ain't that bad.
13:29And I'm going to incorporate it in some of the builds I'm doing back home now.
13:33Yeah, Drew, he's a good, he's a good guy.
13:40Hand me that tour.
13:41It doesn't have any different ad here.
13:43That's a good tour than it is.
13:44It's got to be a better way.
13:46And I'll tell you what's a better way is.
13:48A better way is if you have something with a lot more leverage.
13:52Yeah.
13:52You know what I mean?
13:53It's the same too.
13:54Yeah.
13:55You want to try it, Paul?
13:56Give me that.
14:06Give me my job.
14:08So it was cool because I got to show Paul how to do it the old school way,
14:11which is, you know, the torch, you know,
14:13and then twisting it in certain styles that you wanted it.
14:16So it was a lot of fun.
14:17I like it.
14:19Good job.
14:20That's the process, man.
14:21It takes a while.
14:22You got to finesse it a little bit.
14:23You know what I'm saying?
14:24So what if you did 30 and then the 4-inch over the top of it?
14:2934 overall.
14:30Yeah.
14:31Does that make sense?
14:32Yeah.
14:34Oh, we're doing pretty good, I think, you know, for two days.
14:36We've got the front end on, we've got the calipers on,
14:38the wheels lined up, handlebars we've got.
14:42So we're doing pretty good.
14:43Tomorrow I'd like to see at least a sissy bar
14:48and the seat pan made for the king-queen seat,
14:51and then we'll go right to the exhaust,
14:54which probably would be the most time-consuming.
14:56So we got the tank, I mounted it up, welded it down.
15:00And I was thinking you can even do it,
15:02when you can run the hose like this even,
15:05instead of, or you can just do a straight hit,
15:07it don't matter, you know?
15:08Same .
15:09Yeah, so put it there.
15:10Something like that.
15:18The quartet's going to be a clear hose,
15:20so you can see the fuel level in there.
15:22We decided we wanted, you know, just like a fuel gauge on the side,
15:25like a basic old chopper fuel gauge,
15:27where it's just a fuel line, so you can just, you know,
15:29visibly just look and see your fuel level.
15:31This type of fabrication, I've never done.
15:34So I'm picking up, and it's a blast, like I say.
15:39It's a good time.
15:40Everybody is great, and I can't wait till tomorrow.
15:43I look forward to coming back tomorrow.
15:52Hey, I got a lot of threads in there.
15:54I beefed it up.
15:55Yeah, Christian's lathing some parts to put into the battery box area
16:00in order to shim them up so that we can fully assemble the part.
16:05I don't know what he's doing, to be honest with you.
16:08I'm kind of watching him, keeping him company, you know?
16:12Some days I'm just sitting here,
16:13and I'm just waiting for that second hand
16:16to keep racing around the clock, you know?
16:30That's pretty, that's pretty close, yeah.
16:34I'd take that.
16:35The other one's not good, right?
16:37Yeah, we gotta pull that one in just a tad.
16:39Yeah.
16:43And everything else, this side's out.
16:45The fender's gotta be, the fender's not really square here.
16:50You know what I'm saying?
16:51We got it right, it was worth it because it's really a nice sissy bar.
16:56A lot of time in it, in that sissy bar.
16:58And then Drew's gonna be working on the exhaust,
17:02which I'm really excited about.
17:05Let me see, brother.
17:07Yeah, that's cool.
17:09That's cool, man.
17:10That's cool.
17:12That's cool, man.
17:14And I think it's turning out better than we had expected.
17:17Do you wanna pass the axle, or do you know what I mean?
17:22I'd like to do it like this.
17:23You want it really close to the, you want them dual like that?
17:27Do that a pain in the ass, I want them.
17:29We can do it.
17:30I think that'll look cool.
17:32Okay.
17:33Just have them parallel like that, one side.
17:35Yeah, it could be, you know, you could leave a little space in between.
17:38Yeah, yeah.
17:39You know what I mean?
17:39Whatever.
17:40Blow your ears out.
17:41Right?
17:41So I'm gonna jump on the exhaust, we're gonna do like a two-inch exhaust,
17:45and we're gonna do like a really cool upsweep, old-school chopper style,
17:48then probably just go real tall.
17:52This is keeping it up over here, you know?
17:54Right.
17:56Let's mark it and shear it.
17:59We could do that, right?
18:00That's about where that's gonna be no matter what, right?
18:04So...
18:07Yeah, that's good.
18:09Let's get it all centered.
18:10All right, I said cheese is even.
18:13Let's just press it down a little bit again.
18:22Back in seven.
18:24All right.
18:26You wanna take it over here, or you wanna...
18:27We're gonna have to add a piece of base.
18:29All right.
18:30Go up a bit.
18:33Here's a little bit.
18:34There you go, right there.
18:35Oh, that worked.
18:40This the top with your fingers?
18:42Oh, no.
18:43Like this top.
18:55I don't know, man.
18:56It's looking pretty baller to me.
18:58It's a perfect fit.
19:01I don't know.
19:02Wait a second.
19:03Pretend me when it's straight.
19:04Gotta get it right first.
19:06You guys, man.
19:08You and your buddy Drew over here.
19:11Shooting the darts in the dark.
19:14Get going on making the pipes.
19:16I think I'm gonna do like an upsweep set up on this one.
19:19And that's what Paul was wanting.
19:21We're gonna do something real tall.
19:23And, uh...
19:24Yeah, it'll be kind of old-school chopper stuff.
19:26It'll look good.
19:27All right.
19:27So, now I got something to work with.
19:29I want three-quarter to two-inch.
19:31So, we're gonna bolt these into the motor.
19:33I mean...
19:33What do you think, Derek?
19:34They're not gonna be...
19:35I like your idea from yesterday's side-by-side.
19:40That'll give it a more of a one-of-a-kind look.
19:43Let me see it, brother.
19:45Yeah, that's cool.
19:47That's cool, man.
19:50Right, bro?
19:51Nah, that's nice.
19:53Hold that there for a second.
19:55Don't move.
19:57Smile.
19:59Never mind, don't smile.
20:01All right, good.
20:02Back to work.
20:11Come look at it and see if I like it.
20:14I'm the one that's gotta like it.
20:18Let me know, because I only got...
20:21Well, I guess we got a little bit more straight P's.
20:23I like it.
20:25We're gonna go a little bit higher on the sissy bar.
20:28So, I'm just trying to tie in this last little 45 that I need to do, so...
20:33Today went good.
20:34It's our fourth day.
20:36I think that through...
20:38You know, we're not working with a huge crew like with the OCC we had in New York,
20:43but I think that...
20:45I think that we're getting a lot done.
20:47Nice, smooth whoosh.
20:48Very good.
20:57So, building these bikes back to back like we are doing, it builds the tension and the stress level a
21:02little bit.
21:02So, Paul had a great idea.
21:04Let's do something to blow off some steam, some team building.
21:07So, there's a place down the street, Peepaws.
21:08They have some axe throwing in the back.
21:10We figured this is a great way to get off some steam, have some fun and just get out of
21:14the shop for a few hours.
21:15So, welcome on in.
21:16Name is Nigel.
21:18This is Peepaws Garage here.
21:19We are an official waddle venue, World Axe Center League.
21:21So, you guys are gonna be throwing on the same style boards that pros compete on.
21:25I am a certified coach for that organization.
21:27More importantly, at least for me, is I am a certified judge for that organization.
21:31So, I will definitely be judging you guys here today.
21:33Nice, smooth whoosh.
21:34Very good.
21:36Not bad.
21:37Competition.
21:39One.
21:39That is actually one of my...
21:41Yeah.
21:42Very good.
21:44Damn.
21:44I got it.
21:45Who would have known that Mikey is like an axe throwing God?
21:50Oh my God.
21:52And that's a bullseye right there.
21:54You know, the guy picked up an axe.
21:55I think this second throw, he was nailing it.
21:58There it was.
21:59That's a solid stick right there.
22:01Christian and Paul did really well, as did Joni and myself.
22:04But yeah, those three were really on target.
22:07I was pretty happy with my performance.
22:09The guy that took the...
22:10Took it away was Christian.
22:12But I still think the best...
22:14The best thrower here was Michael.
22:18Hey-oh.
22:19There we go.
22:20It's pretty cool.
22:21I don't think any of us has ever done it before.
22:23A lot of fun.
22:24A lot of stress reliefs.
22:24And I think it was a good time.
22:26But it's time to head back to the shop and get that bike built.
22:32My name is Billy Rude.
22:34I actually work at Burt's Barracuda Harley-Davidson, which is right next door here to Paul's shop.
22:38Me and Paul kind of, you know, met in passing in the shop there.
22:41And anything I can help out with, I try.
22:43The spacers and then your pivot shaft.
22:53Hey.
22:53What's his name?
22:55Hell.
22:56He was there last week.
22:59How's it going?
23:00Everything's there, man.
23:01You're done?
23:02Yeah, we're done.
23:03What about the primer?
23:05So we have a...
23:07If you need me to come back over and throw that together, I can't.
23:10We're starting out a little shaky.
23:12Some of the stuff wasn't powder-coated.
23:14The exhaust needs to be re-coated.
23:16But we're moving along now, and we got Mikey here.
23:21Where's Mike?
23:24He's doing inventory.
23:25Sandbag.
23:26He's in there.
23:28So we got to get back to work.
23:37Yo, buddy.
23:40Man, that looks nice.
23:44How are you doing here?
23:45Last-minute decision.
23:47What did you do?
23:47Come all the way down?
23:48Yeah.
23:48When?
23:49Got here yesterday.
23:50My man Ken flew down.
23:53Surprise, surprise.
23:54The colors are great.
23:57The beige color is really nice.
23:59I really like that color.
24:01To me, it's nostalgic.
24:02Almost looks like psychedelic, man.
24:04Wow, that's really nice, does it?
24:07As usual, they always give me that real tight timeline.
24:10Supposed to ship it out.
24:12Didn't quite make it, so I had to jump on a plane, put it in my suitcase, and get it
24:17here.
24:17Tried to replicate, like, some of the toys that they use for autism.
24:21The poppets and the rear fender.
24:24We did the fidget spinners.
24:26Mounted those on.
24:27It was a little cool add-on.
24:28Every bike we do, I find that there's a message in it.
24:32The more the message gets out to more and more people, the better it is.
24:37And so, that's kind of my philosophy is, you know, like, let people that don't, they're
24:44not informed, get informed.
25:11We're up to the bottom, aren't we?
25:14Yes.
25:14There we go.
25:17Good design.
25:18That's it, man.
25:19This bike.
25:21The car and everything, it would look great, you know?
25:24What do you want me to do?
25:29Obviously.
25:30I love the bars.
25:31I do, too.
25:32They're really different, you know?
25:34They're cool.
25:35Everything's pretty cool.
25:36The old man's got eyes in the back of his head.
25:39He's got his head.
25:40Fidget spinner.
25:41Fidget spinner.
25:43That's wild, I think.
25:45That is wild.
25:46The tank for the autism bike is my all-time favorite.
25:51I always said I never had a favorite, but there's just something magical about it.
25:55It's the colors, it's the feel.
25:58I could not have been happier than I was with that tank.
26:01The bike looks amazing, doesn't it?
26:03The bike does look amazing, honestly.
26:05How nice is that bike?
26:06I don't think I've ever seen a white engine.
26:08It's not a white, it's white and black.
26:10You want to argue over what color that is?
26:12Oh.
26:13You're color blind, so stay out of it.
26:14I picked the colors, so...
26:16Of course you did.
26:17If it's done right, you picked it.
26:19Right, Jim?
26:20Pretty much.
26:20Yeah.
26:21So, actually, tomorrow, if everything goes good, we should be able to get pretty close.
26:27Bill's coming in tomorrow morning, he's going to do the primary.
26:30Hopefully, we'll get the exhaust tomorrow.
26:33Uh, so if we get the owls coming in tomorrow, so that'll be a big help.
26:38Again, like I always say, as long as something else don't come up, I think that, uh, I think we
26:42should...
26:44We should be on time.
26:50Yeah.
26:52That makes a difference.
26:53Yeah.
26:54Boom, right through the whole billboard.
26:56Yeah, you can't ask for a better track.
26:59You might be right, huh?
27:01Oh, that goes right out here.
27:02Well, there was two here, and there was two this side, son.
27:09Good, man.
27:10Uh, LED Forever.
27:11They do all the bike events around here.
27:13Uh-huh.
27:14So when you said you wanted to put LEDs on here, they were the first ones I thought of.
27:17They're local, which is good.
27:18So we had, uh, Manny come in, uh, to do the LED lights, and I think that, uh...
27:25I think that it was kind of appropriate, uh, for the autism bike,
27:29because, you know, the colors and stuff like that we tried to blend in.
27:34I think if we do a multi-color kit, it would be amazing, because you can go with all the
27:38nice colors you got on the bike.
27:40Right.
27:40And I think your key fob control will work good on this one.
27:43Yeah, we can turn 18 colors.
27:45Light it up, man.
27:46Make a Christmas tree out of it.
27:47Christmas tree?
27:51Sit down.
27:53I want to tell you how proud of the man you've become.
27:58Thanks, Mike.
27:59That means a lot coming to me.
28:00Yep.
28:02Proud of what you've accomplished here.
28:03Yeah?
28:03Yeah.
28:05I'm so impressed I was overwhelmed then coming out here and his bear.
28:11And, uh, he didn't return the words at all.
28:17I just like spending time with my dad.
28:20He's old.
28:21He's really old.
28:24He's older than he looks.
28:27Yeah.
28:45Oh, yeah.
28:48Dude, that frame's cool.
28:49Look good?
28:50Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue.
28:52It looks amazing, man.
28:54The colors are going to be nice.
28:55The kids are going to like it, you know?
28:56Yeah.
28:56Which is important.
28:57Manny from LED Forever.
28:59Put lights underneath the bike, underneath the gas tank,
29:02and they'll change colors.
29:03So that should be, you know, when we unveil a bike for the kids,
29:06they should get a kick out of that, too.
29:08Pretty sure.
29:13How are you guys doing?
29:14Good. How are you?
29:15How are you? Good.
29:16Coming in here to work on a bike or what?
29:19Huh?
29:20You got your mechanic's license?
29:23Um...
29:24Sure.
29:24It's somewhere, right?
29:25You just can't find it?
29:27We had, uh, Turner here today, and, uh, my wife knows it.
29:30Mom, evidently, he's interested in bikes and stuff like that.
29:33So, uh, we invited him over to get a little bit involved in the,
29:37in the bike that we're working on now.
29:38This guy's going to take your job, Mike.
29:40Oh, man, that's not hard.
29:42No, that was easy.
29:43There you go, man.
29:45This kid's a born rider.
29:46Here.
29:48Mom needs to get pictures, Mom.
29:50Look mean.
29:51Real mean.
29:52There you go.
29:53Yeah.
29:54Something doesn't look right here.
29:56He needs a helmet or something?
29:57No, no.
29:58You gotta have sunglasses, Mom.
29:59It'd be cool.
30:00Yes, I know.
30:00You see how cool I am?
30:01That's because of the sunglasses.
30:03What do you mean, uh, jeez.
30:07You're good, bro.
30:09Boom.
30:10There's one on the other side, too.
30:11Yeah, it comes to the other side.
30:18An Orange County Shoppers shirt with my signature on it.
30:23Don't put it on eBay, okay?
30:25All right.
30:26I won't.
30:27I'm just gonna show it off.
30:29You're gonna show it off?
30:30Good man.
30:31It was a great experience for me, but I'm sure it was more of an experience for him, you know?
30:38Good to see that he got involved, and I know that when he left here, he had a big smile
30:44on his face.
30:45All right, good job.
30:46Thank you, man.
30:47All right.
30:49Okay.
30:51We got all the spark plugs in there, right?
30:53Yeah.
30:56There's four in that one?
30:57There's four?
30:58How do you know which one go where, though?
31:01It doesn't matter.
31:02The front is the front, and the rear is the rear.
31:04And that's why we had to switch these around, because we had it wrong at first.
31:07We didn't switch them back by accident, did we?
31:09No.
31:24Still?
31:24It's not coming back.
31:26It's not coming back.
31:26There's...
31:26I mean, it sounds good.
31:29Try that.
31:39It's been a pretty long day, and the bike started for a little while, and the throttle...
31:44Actually, the spring was bad on the carburetor, but we've been...
31:50You know, we put the Magneto on there, which nobody's really that familiar with the Magneto,
31:54especially the newer bikes like this, or even this motor period.
31:59But, you know, right now we can't get it going.
32:01You know, we've worn the battery down.
32:04The guy that put the Magneto in, that runs that company, he's gonna come in the morning.
32:11And everybody seems to think it's something with the Magneto.
32:16I'm not worried about getting the bike started.
32:18We're gonna get it started.
32:19It's not...
32:20It's not like it's uncommon.
32:23It happens to the best of us.
32:25And, you know, the main thing is to persevere and get it done.
32:32Then I spin it 180, so my dot is there and the other dot is the top.
32:36I just wonder if that cam timing's not off with going the...
32:39The way you're going the top dead center on this, and it's not letting it take it up or something.
32:44I'm not sure. I don't know how this won't work.
32:45Why don't you put it on your top dead center?
32:47Let's see what a cam timing's at.
32:48Okay.
32:49Can you get it to that?
32:50Let's just take a look at that and see if those dots are off, then the cam timing's definitely off.
32:54So these MA conversions with the Magneto are something we've never done before.
32:57Because usually Christian's pretty good at figuring it out, diagnosing it, and fixing it.
33:02But this was a little more than we've all done before and a little more than we're used to.
33:06Anything with the Harleys even, like even when I'm doing not adjustables,
33:09I have to set my cam timing there, drop the pushrods in, and then everything will start.
33:15Once you're there, so like I'm putting my sprockets on, so once I put those sprockets on,
33:19I'll line my cam up, I'll line my crank up with those two dikes, so my crank's lined up now
33:25to my cam.
33:25So that's how you get the timing on that.
33:27We keep trying the process of elimination, and thus far we haven't been successful with it.
33:33We have the right people here.
33:36I guess the thing is that we just have to keep going.
33:39Never really been in this spot, per se, before.
33:43It's a different motor.
33:45Things are a little bit different than the usual, so it does make it a little bit more difficult.
33:51Well, I do believe that eventually we'll get it.
33:54We got to sit down with Leo and his daughter and his son-in-law, and again, great people.
34:01I think that they struggle daily with people's inability to just accept that many of these children are just a
34:13little bit different.
34:13So, how's Olivia?
34:16She's wonderful.
34:18She's been very excited about this whole thing we got going on.
34:22Today she's a little apprehensive.
34:25You know, as we know, some days she comes in, she likes to be a part of the filament,
34:29and then other days it just gets overwhelming.
34:31Exactly the same way.
34:33For real life.
34:34That's a lot.
34:35You know, people talk about awareness, and awareness is great.
34:38A lot of people are aware.
34:39But to truly just accept and embrace the love and everything these kids have is way more important, I think.
34:48The biggest thing about it is just to show her the support that out there in the real world she
34:53doesn't get overwhelmed.
34:54Right.
34:54And, you know, she's really come a long ways.
34:58I mean, throughout this whole experience, the process, meeting all these new people,
35:03being part of something that's bigger than her, it's been amazing for me.
35:09And I know, you know, I got tears in my eyes already.
35:11I mean, you know, I'm too big to cry, but, you know, here it is, so.
35:16I'm the first to cry.
35:17That's why I wear sunglasses.
35:18I got mine on my head, but...
35:20So, as parents, what would be your summation of it?
35:24What, what, if you, you have an autistic child, what does that mean?
35:28She's living in a world that's not accommodating to her.
35:31Some days, like, yesterday was a very good day for her.
35:35She could have done anything.
35:36Today, a little bit of a rough day, so she's not here, because she's a low-functioning day.
35:40More, like, what we're doing is we're sending out a message, and I don't think that message gets out there
35:47enough.
35:49So, what you're talking about here, people don't know what you're talking about, for the most part.
35:53I agree.
35:54You know what I mean?
35:55Absolutely.
35:55So, really, the whole, as far as I'm concerned, the bike's always a tool, but I think that we have
36:03to create the message.
36:04Yes.
36:05You know what I mean?
36:05Yes.
36:06And then, from there, the bike kind of takes it over, because you're going to use that as a tool
36:11for people when they come around, whatever events or whatever it is, you, there's something to talk about there.
36:18Whether it's kids or parents, it, it, it, it, it's all about that.
36:23How are we looking on a bike for tomorrow?
36:27Huh.
36:29Yeah, yeah, it shows me.
36:32I think we're okay, yeah.
36:33Does it have gas?
36:35It needs a little more gas.
36:37That's happened, because we needed not to start it.
36:40Never really been in this spot.
36:41You know, we didn't start the bike.
36:43Start it!
36:44Start it!
36:45Start it!
36:46Start it!
36:52Good.
36:54All right.
37:22Yeah, bro!
37:33We should move that bike.
37:34Yeah.
37:35Yeah, yeah, I do, yeah.
37:36That's a relief.
37:39Listen, did you think at any time that that was going to be something simple that was wrong with it?
37:46We know it is, but we didn't.
37:49It took a little while troubleshooting different things,
37:52and we came to the realization that after changing the spark plugs and checking the timing,
37:58timing was still perfect, everything.
38:00The compression releases were just staying on a little too long,
38:03so we just disconnected the compression releases, and it fired right up.
38:10It's turning.
38:12It's got many of my friends out of Texas.
38:16Because they're real fast.
38:17They're sticklers.
38:20Yeah.
38:21Right.
38:22Yeah, that's where we're going back.
38:23Go!
38:43So we're super excited.
38:45We're about to leave to go do the unveil of the Autism Awareness Bike.
38:48Can't wait to see what Leo and his family and his granddaughter think about the bike,
38:51because it's really all about them and their cause to bring awareness to autism.
38:55So I hope everything goes well.
39:06The reveal day was just, like, amazing.
39:09The kids were just so excited, and I think that they didn't know what to expect.
39:15I'm pretty sure that we nailed it this time.
39:20In terms of building the bike, it took a lot of creativity and thought into making sure that this bike
39:29speaks to all of us.
39:31You know, we didn't start the bike.
39:32We rolled it out of there because, again, you know, we weren't really sure.
39:36And the next thing, everybody goes, start the bike, start the bike.
39:39Start it!
39:40Start it!
39:41Start it!
39:49To me, it rolled out the way it should roll out.
39:52It was their show.
39:53It's their bike.
39:54It was just a great day, and I think we're going to bring a lot of awareness.
39:57Leo loved it, which was the most important thing.
39:59But even more important than that was Leo's granddaughter loved it.
40:02She wouldn't stop talking about it.
40:04She was always by the bike.
40:05So it's a home run as far as I'm concerned.
40:07We really feel fortunate and blessed that we're in a position to bring awareness.
40:15Amazing!
40:16I'll be screaming at the top of my lungs.
40:17My wife will be like, what's wrong with you?
40:18I said, it's just amazing.
40:20The kids are just pure.
40:22They're unique.
40:23And I'm really, really honored to be a part of this.
40:26I think the bike is absolutely stunning.
40:29Amazing.
40:29It couldn't have came out any better beyond what I could have even thought.
40:35I'm so excited about it.
40:37I love it.
40:38Yeah, I thought it was one of my favorite unveils.
40:41You know, I'm a kid and animal person.
40:46So, yeah, this was special for me.
40:48Paul did a great job.
40:50And I think Leo really loved it.
40:52And I think the people here really loved it and appreciated it.
40:54So, another successful unveil for OCC.
40:57That's an old school chopper.
40:59So, it's keeping the old school choppers alive.
41:02It's cool and it's awesome.
41:04It's amazing.
41:06I really like it so much.
41:08This motorcycle is awesome.
41:10This is a really cool bike.
41:27That's a really cool bike.
41:29We made the dream.
41:29Number 13.
41:29I wrote a, Oh, he died a party.
41:31He was going for a party.
